supreme court overturning ruling on busing kids out of district for racially = scho

Interesting note...to avoid the possibility of the Feds stepping in, Grambling State and Louisiana Tech sorta cozied up to eachother.

They cut a deal so that each began offering courses which were only available on the other's campus. As the crow flies, they're only a couple of miles apart.

The deal was carefully crafted to directly impact the Fed's figures when totaling up racial percentages and let the two schools avoid any desegregation order fallout.

Pretty slick. A lot of folks said it would never happen. But, it did. When I went to Tech in the early 80s, it was an 8-mile drive on a very, very crooked road to get to Grambling. Now, it's two miles on a straight road and the Tech golf course is in the Grambling city limits. :)
